About our sand mastic in Chingford Mount
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. Typical jobs include gaps round a timber door in stone or brick and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked, across stone surrounds, brick reveals and timber door frames.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Chingford Mount.

Landlord and commercial work in Chingford Mount
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Chingford Mount: your questions answered
I let a flat near Highams Park station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Chingford Mount in your area for sand mastic?
Yes, Chingford Mount is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, sand mastic included.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Surface by surface
Brick reveals
Brick reveals round timber windows are often pointed with sand mastic. It gives a traditional finish.
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Sand mastic in Chingford Mount: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking.
Letting a property close to Highams Park station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as St Edmund's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What we are called out for in Chingford Mount
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lime Academy Larkswood, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints in most cases.

- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
